[GNC] Any bank that still functions well with AqBanking? Does Paypal?

[Kalpesh Patel]

Bryan - GNC does not have extensive of online download capabilities as Quicken does; rightfully so -- that is what Quicken provides in return for purchasing a license for, and that is what Quicken already offers and does well. Most of us, if not all, who came over from Quicken world that wanted to unshackle from their yearly subscription model tend to rely on downloading the data directly from financial institution using OFX/QFX (preferred), QIF or CSV format and then import it in. There may be here and there that may be using off-line programs (like I using modified PocketSense scripts from  http://sites.google.com/site/pocketsense/) to download them in OFX format that is importable. Nonetheless GNC model is mostly tied to export from financial institution and import it in into GNC; how you export it out is all up to your creativity ...

I'm trying to switch from Quicken to GnuCash.

The AqBanking feature did not work with my two banks.

The primary thing I still love about Quicken is that I can simply click a button and it downloads transactions across all my accounts. It's a huge time saver.

To switch to GnuCash, I would have to at the very least consolidate all my frequently used accounts into one bank that either downloads automatically through the AqBanking feature, or perhaps through some API script that I would have to create and manage (ugh), or, as a last option, log in to every day and download the transaction reports.

Does anyone know of any method, bank, or whatever that allows for automating the transaction download feature that speeds up the process?
